2nd viewing of Hackman in The Conversation--just a scene here and there between work--astonishes. The scene where he visits the woman for whom he pays the rent. That he never takes off his rain coat. The way he uses his glasses. The long quiet between piano passages that bookend the scene.

First time I watched it was FEST '75, quite a movie, even when watched alongside Amarcord, Chinatown, American Graffiti, Arabian Nights, Phantom of Liberty, Night Porter...
He talked about Godfather II (claimed he got idea for it talking to Soviet Minister for Cinematography !?) and claimed there will definitely NOT be Part III 🤣
